- 1 March 2016
Arachidonic acid (AA) and the related prostanoids exert complex effects on the adipocyte differentiation depending on the culture conditions and life stages. Here, we investigated the effect of the… Expand
Comparison of pro-adipogenic effects between prostaglandin (PG) D2 and its stable, isosteric analogue, 11-deoxy-11-methylene-PGD2, during the maturation phase of cultured adipocytes.
